Open Culture Seems to Praise Structured Procrastination

The trick is to procrastinate by avoiding the theoretically important tasks (that’s what procrastinators do) but at least knock off many secondary and tertiary tasks in the process. The approach involves ‘constantly perpetrating a pyramid scheme on oneself’ and essentially ‘using one character flaw to offset the bad effects of another.’ It’s unconventional, to be sure.

But see my rebuttal to the whole “structured procrastination” idea here.
